Stairway to Heaven backwards

Cool stuff. Stairway's 'forward' lyrics are much better, though.. lol

Yeah, it souds like you hear the word Satan a couple times. Nothing to take seriously though, just one of those weird coincidences.

All this crap started because Jimmy Page was fascinated with the occult and studied Aliester Crowley, who was a known figure in the occult world (but ultimately just a rich, spoiled dabbler).

Listen, there are no hidden messages of satanic verses in Led Zeppelin's music. They don't exist except for in the minds of paranoid bible beating conspiracy theorists. I don't expect these rumors to ever cease, thouh, as it is far to easy to manipulate the sounds of lyrics being sung backwards into what you want them to say.

Yeah, I agree. It was a little wierd, but probably just coincidence.

well, I recorded the MP3 onto audio tape backwarsd, and swore i heard "satan", and "beelzebub" in the clip, but it was most likely just me hearing things.

it's such a good song, I couldn't care less what the lyrics were forwards or backwards...although the forward lyrics are generally fantastic

I actually got a good laugh out of this. I don't believe Led Zeppelin to be satanic in any way. But I found this amusing none the less.

Anyone who thinks this makes me scared.

YOU KNOW THEY PLAY IT THE CORRECT WAY FOR A REASON. If we all started worshipping this "Satan" rogue, then maybe we WOULD play all our music backwards. Or something.
